PORTLAND, Oregon (Ticker) -- Rasheed Wallace scored 26 points as
the Portland Trail Blazers used a 14-0 fourth-quarter run to
become the first team to reach 20 wins with a 91-75 victory over
the Philadelphia 76ers.

Greg Anthony entered the fourth quarter with two points, but
scored seven during the burst that put the game out of reach.
Anthony finished the contest with 13 points to help celebrate
coach Mike Dunleavy's 45th birthday.

Walt Williams netted 11 points and Stacey Augmon added 10 while
holding holding the 76ers to 0-for-11 from 3-point range.
Anthony and Augmon shut down 76ers guards Allen Iverson and Eric
Snow in the final period, nailing down the Blazers' fifth win in
sixth outings.

"Defensively, we fed off the front line in the fourth quarter,"
Anthony said. "The first half, we were getting beat off the
dribble. Second half, we tightened our defense and our philosophy
was a little better in terms of execution."

During the 14-0 spurt, Philadelphia was 0-for-5 from the floor
and committed five turnovers. The 76ers went almost seven
minutes in the final period without a field goal, shooting
5-for-16 and committing nine turnovers in the final 12 minutes.

"Our plan was to make somebody else (besides Iverson) beat us,"
Blazers coach Mike Dunleavy said. "We didn't want him to get
too many looks, especially on the baseline where he is the most
dangerous."

Iverson, the NBA's leading scorer, scored 24 points but only
seven in the fourth quarter after being shut out in the third.
He had 13 points in the opening period, including seven during
an 11-4 run that put Philadelphia ahead 29-21 at the end of the
quarter. Iverson netted the final five points of the period.

"If I was that bad, I wouldn't have played," Iverson said. "As
far as my game, I probably got more open shots in the second
half than I did in the first."

Portland opened the second quarter with a 9-0 run as Brian Grant
scored four points to help open a 30-29 lead. Grant finished
the quarter with six points, but Philadelphia held on for a
45-44 halftime lead.

"We forgot to defend," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "That was
the game. We took so many bad shots. Anthony and Augmon won
the game for Portland because of defense."

Although Iverson was held scoreless, the 76ers ended the third
quarter with a 7-2 run to pull within 60-59 at the end of the
period.
